I understood you were visiting your fiancé - which is why I said that I assumed you were there despite the closed borders except for family and loved ones I'm not bitter - I'm just tired of all the people without a background in medicine acting like they're an expert on what should be done. It's been incredibly stressful living on top of the dumpster fire that is America throughout all this with so much pressure to open our borders. For once I was being pro-government covid protocol. It was extremely impressive how you guys managed things up there. I think if we'd done that hard core approach from the start instead of this stop and go crap in the US, I wouldn't be so bitter You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

TEANUS 16,140 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 For the people saying that symptoms beyond 5 days would be an issue, it’s always been conditional to discontinue isolation after X days only if your symptoms have subsided. Most say you have to have been feverless and all other symptoms improved for 48 hours without any medication British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat 18,962 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 10 hours ago, HuffsAhoy said: The article states that if someone still has symptoms after 5 days, they are to continue isolating. But, based on my experience with covid in January, there is no one enforcing any isolation/quarantine. I got a call from the local health department the day after I tested positive and then again a week later to get an update. They never officially cleared me from isolation, and since I worked from home at the time it was no big deal, but it's truly just a honor system situation Contrast that to Ontario where I was literally tracked by the government for 14 days when I went to see my then fiance earlier this year. I had to download an app, then input the address of the place we were staying, who was staying there, provide evidence we had enough provisions for 2 weeks, among other personal details. I had to check-in on the app daily and accurately report any symptoms (I had none thankfully), every three days I would get a call from an agent to verify the information, and I swear to god they even sent an undercover government employee to sit on the street and ensure I didn't come out of the house I wish my country was this efficient Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario would never spend a fortune on that besides all the ppl that hate covid measures would of been talking about this long ago already Canada may have tougher laws than the US on certain things but when it comes to law enforcement especially secret service i think its clear the US is more extra when it comes to that Ontarios style would be more like a massive fine if u were caught kinda thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
